Differential requirements for enriched atmospheric carbon dioxide content for intracellular growth in cell culture among selected members of the genus Rickettsia.
In an in vitro chicken embryo cell culture system, strains of Rickettsia prowazekii, R. mooseri, and R. rickettsii, but not of R. tsutsugamushi, required an atmosphere enriched in CO2 for intracellular growth.
